I ate a Cookie Today

And I didn't even feel like it, which is what bothers me. 

I've been sticking to the diet really well this week, and I've been feeling a little .... hemmed in, eating basically the same thing every day.  Three scrambled eggs at 9-10 am.  A salad of mixed greens, feta cheese and sunflower seeds for lunch, and a homemade yogurt snack, made with (2% milk and powdered milk).  Then I have some meat and veggies for dinner.  Ho hum.  There's not a ton of leeway on 1240 calories per day and I've got a workable system that doesn't take a ton of effort.

Physically, I haven't been starving or anything.  In fact, I haven't really even been very hungry.  But I've had a craving for soup, like beef vegetable soup or tom yum soup for a week now.  So I went to the cafeteria to see what they had today, which was nothing I wanted.  I've got a Fudge Fancy habit left over from my fat days that is hard to ignore, and the cookie fell into my hand, then my mouth.

A Fudge Fancy is a sugar cookie covered with chocolate icing.  In my fat days, I'd buy one every day.  Now it's like once a month or so, which is not terrible.

But the thing is - I didn't even WANT it!!  I want hot, spicy soup, not a sugar cookie!!! Waah!  Methinks I need to make myself some soup this weekend and give in to the craving.  Made right, the soup could be a regular part of my diet!

239.8 this morning, up 0.2 from yesterday.  Still an 8 pound loss over the last month though.  I looked at hula hoops online, but haven't bought one yet.  They're not cheap, like the ones at WalMart that don't work!
